The world is becoming more militarized. PresidentDonald Trump has requested a ten percent boost in defense spending, China will have nearly doubled its military expenditures by the end of the decade, and — with the impetuous Trump occupying the White House — conflict zones from the Korean Peninsula to Syria seem more likely to descend into open warfare than they did under the vigilant command of President Barack Obama.
In these geopolitical games of chess, let’s review where the pieces on the board — the weapons systems — are coming from. These are the top ten countries that export the most arms according to the authority on this topic, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Before we begin, a few important points: the data does not include spending on support services for these increasingly high-tech systems, which is now the dominant aspect of military spending; companies — some state-owned — are the primary providers of these weapons; and we’re using the average of the five most recent years to give the rankings more stability.
Israel’s arms industry is ranked tenth. Its exports surged above $1.2B for 2016, three times what it was just two years earlier. Part of this is increased sales to India, Israel’s biggest customer. Israel’s Aerospace Industries just finalized a deal worth $2B to provide air and missile defense systems.
Ninth is Ukraine. Naval vessels were its primary military export until a contract with the Chinese dried up in 2015. Despite its ongoing conflict with Russia, Ukraine continues to sell it more and more arms. Aside from Thailand, the Indians and Vietnamese are also regular customers.
Italy, the world’s eighth-leading arms exporter, does regular business with the United Arab Emirates. Leonardo S.p.A. — Italy’s leading defense contractor — recently cut a deal to sell the UAE eight of its brand new P180Avanti II “Hammerhead” Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for $347 million.
Seventh is Spain. It’s defense industry is concentrated heavily around two key markets: aviation and shipbuilding. State-owned Navantia is in the midst of delivering three Hobart-class destroyers to the Royal Australian Navy. The first of the 147.2 meter ships is currently conducting sea trials as it nears completion.
The UK is the world’s sixth-ranked arms manufacturer. It’s largest defense contractor, BAE Systems, is the third-largest in the world. It’s supplied The RoyalSaudi Air Force with 72 Eurofighter Typhoons as part of the Al Yamamah deal that guarantees the UK government 600,000 barrels of Saudi Arabian oil a day.
The Germans have slipped from third to fifth in the last five years as Chancellor Merkel’s government has blocked the sale of certain weapons systems to countries with questionable human rights records like Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Brunei. It is instead selling more to allies like South Korea and Greece.
Like the Germans, fourth-ranked France’s arms exports also declined during the last five years. President Francois Hollande came under heavy pressure from his NATO allies to cancel the sale of two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships to the Russians due to the crisis in Ukraine. Those ships instead were sold to Egypt.
China’s third-ranked defense industry is surging, rising from the sixth position just five years ago. The Chinese understand that in geopolitics, controlling the sale of military hardware is often a government’s most valuable bargaining chip. What’s interesting is the Chinese don’t — or can’t — make sales to its global rival, the United States, or its regional rival, India. The only NATO nation China has ever exported arms to is Turkey, but even that stopped in 2013.
Russia is second. Its main customer, India, now buys just half as many Russian made weapons systems as they were buying five years ago and, overall, Russia’s arms sales are down 30% from their peak. After Putin’s actions in eastern Ukraine, the US, NATO, and their allies used a combination of tools, including sanctions, to punish Russia.

TOP 5 WEAPONSINDIA EXPORTING
INTRODUCTION:
India accounted for 14 per cent of total weapons imports between 2011 and 2015.
India remains the world’s largest weapons importer over the five-year period according to latest report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
India is not known to export defense equipments.
But in last 2 years , India under the leadership of PM Modi is trying to change that, with ‘Make in India’ initiative. The idea is to design & manufacture in India & export it to other countries, which will bring in foreign exchange.
Defense MinisterManohar Parrikar has set a target to raise India’s defense exports to $2 billion in the next two years from the current $330 million
In this video , we will look into 5 products , India is exporting or plans to export over the next few years.
AKASH MISSILE:
Akash is a Surface-To-Air MissileSystem developed by DRDO with contribution from 61 Indian public and private sector companies.
Its all-weather missile, enjoying high immunity against active and passive jamming & is designed to kill adversaries at an altitude as low as 30 meters to as high as 18 to 20 km.
The best part is that DRDO coordinated work with other agencies, including the users that is the Indian Airforce & Indian Army to produce this system.
It has found takers among friendly foreign nations such as Thailand and Belarus, which have shown and expressed interest in acquiring the Akash missile system.
SHIPS & PATROL VEHICLES:
MCGS Barracuda built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkata, for National Coast Guard of Mauritius is an example of successful export.
India joined the elite club of warship exporters when GRSE delivered it to Mauritius on 20 December 2014. The contract was worth $58.5 million.
The Indian government has already cleared export of 13 warships to Mauritius, which will be supplied over the next few years.
This include two FastPatrolVessels (FPVs) and 11 Fast Attack Crafts.
India also has agreed on supplying ships to Vietnam.
The sale of at least four patrol vessels comes as part of the $100 million credit line for military equipments extended to Vietnam by India.
The patrol vessels will be about 35 meters in length, 10 meters broad.
These will have specialized AluminumHull, & will be used to patrol the waters close to the shore. Vietnam needs at least 7 more such ships ,and GRSE is expected to get the order for the rest of the ships as well.
Besides, it is also in the race to export two light Frigates - about 3500 tons each at a total cost of Rs. 2000 crore - to The Philippines.
LCH:
The HALLIGHT COMBAT HELICOPTER (LCH) is a multirole combat helicopter being developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for use by the Indian Defense forces.
It has now caught the eye of African countries. According to a PTI report, India is in talks with “certain” countries in Africa for possible export of the LCH.
Japan has also shown keen interest in acquiring the HAL LCH, after it became the first helicopter of its kind ,to have landed at an altitude of 16,000 feet from the sea level. No other light combat helicopter has achieved this feat.
BRAHMOS:
The BrahMos is a ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land.
It is considered to the the most deadly Anti ship missile. It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroeyenia and India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) ,who have together formed BrahMos Aerospace.
Talks are in advanced stage with Vietnam for export.
Negotiations are also currently underway with Chile, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia.
Tejas:
The HAL Tejas is a single-seat, single-jet engine, multi-role light fighter designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for Indian Airforce.
Sources said enquiries by foreign countries came during the Bahrain air show in January, the very first time that Tejas flew outside the country.
As per the report Sri Lanka, Egypt have shown interest in the aircraft.
Sri Lanka had recently rejected Pakistan'sJF-17 aircraft built with Chinese help, & is now looking into Tejas.
Egypt had last year signed a contract for 24 French-made Rafale fighter jets, & are now looking acquire some multirole light fighter.
Interestingly, soon after the announcement of Tejas' participation in Bahrain, Pakistan had withdrawn its JF-17 aircraft from the show despite having paid the initial installment which ran into a few millions US dollars.

According to a German newspaper, the exports have reached their highest level in 16 years. EconomyMinister, Sigmar Gabriel, says preliminary figures show that Berlin approved around a whopping 7.5 billion euros worth of arms shipments last year. The report also reveals the approval of tanks and other vehicles worth 1.6 billion euros for Qatar in 2013. Germany is one of the world's main arms exporters to the European Union and NATO countries.

The Japanese government is planning to establish a new centralized agency to handle the development and export of defense equipment. The new department will combine many sectors of the defense industry in a move to gain ground in military exports.
Until now, Japan has had three nos when it's come to arms exports: No to communist nations, no to countries under UN arms embargos, and no to countries involved or likely to be involved in conflict. The new proposed agency represents a major shift from the previous policy set in place 44 years ago that made Japan known as an anti-war nation. Since then, Japan has held steady on its self-imposed arms export ban, but now the situation is changing. With increasing tensions in the region and concerns about security, the Japanese government often receives requests for assistance in areas of defense, but often cannot help over policies. There is also a strong concern that Japan, who was once considered as the technological leader of the world, is being left behind in advanced weapons technology. This is seen as a developing problem and some members of the government feel it's now the right time to make a change. Japan has made parts for the AmericanF-35 fighter exempt from the arms export ban, which means that countries such as Israel can obtain them easily despite using them for conflict. Although many in the government are seeking to expand Japan's defense role beyond its borders, the opinion on the street is quite different as one candidate for the Tokyo assembly tells us. Even though polls suggest that a majority of the Japanese are against easing the arms exports ban, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants the country to get more involved in weapons development with the United States, and sees it as ultimately necessary in going forward. The defense ministry behind me is leading the efforts to make this historic change, which will see Japan go from a country that sees itself as a peaceful war-renouncing nation to one which will proliferate weapons.

China has become the world's third largest exporter of arms after the US and Russia.
Chinese exports of major arms increased by 143 percent between 2005-2009 and 2010-2014. Three countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar were the main buyers of weapons from China which also exported to 18 African states.
The details come in a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute which shows China's share of global arms exports increased from three to five percent overtaking G…

This video shows you that JapanEyesFirstArms Export Orders From India.In Japan last week, I was privileged to be allowed a visit to ShinMaywa’s aircraft manufacturing plant in Konan, a corner of the city of Kobe. Four years ago, on the sidelines of the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, Defence MinisterItsunori Onodera had sketched out to me the broad contours of what could potentially be a Japanese military industrial complex, including we@pons exports, and I was curious to see where that vision had advanced.
As it turned out, my timing might have worked out just nice.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, it was revealed during my trip, is in talks with the United Arab Emirates for a potential sale of Japan’s latest transport aircraft, the C-2 – a massive military plane that has an endurance twice that of the United States-built C-130 and can carry four times its payload. And just this Tuesday, Mr Arun Jaitley, the second most powerful minister in India’s Cabinet after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, concluded his last overseas engagement as defence minister with a trip to Tokyo.
Buried in the long press release that followed on Wednesday was a line filled with meaning: “The (two sides) noted the effort made by both countries regarding the cooperation on US-2 amphibious aircraft.”
Japan’s arms exports industry could be stirring to life, finally.
With Asia emerging as the top we@pons-importing region, there is no reason the market should be left to US, European and Israeli vendors. Japan, after all, has first-rate defence technology in a variety of fields.
Besides, with its massive economy treading water against the background of an ageing society, this could provide just the boost needed to kick growth into higher gear.
But intentions are one thing and practical realities quite another. Japan eased a ban on we@pons transfers in early 2014, but not a lot has happened since. Mr Onodera lost the defence slot in 2014, and returned to it only last month. A defence industry reluctant to advertise its w@res for fear of a public opinion backlash – few people abhor w@r as much as the Japanese do – a phlegmatic government machinery, and dismal in-house marketing sk!lls within the defence contractors all contributed to ensure that the policy did not get much traction.

An angry reaction from Ankara to German restrictions on military exports has further stoked tensions between the NATO allies.
Berlin has rejected at least ten applications for arms transfers to Turkey in recent months amid politicians' fears the weapons could be used on Turkish citizens.
Turkey's Defence Minister, Fikri Işık, was scathing in his response.
"We expect to see common sense from Germany. Unfortunately, while we see German guns in the hands of terrorists, Germany is ignoring this a…

Earlier this month, Japan lifted a self-imposed ban on arms exports that dated back five decades.
The Abe administration has been pushing to strengthen Japan's military capabilities and potential buyers are already lining up to buy what the country has to offer.
Song Ji-sun reports.
A half-a-century long ban on Japan's arms export has been lifted... to help the nation beef up its weapons industry and self-defense capabilities.
Japan's post-World War II constitution drawn up in 1967 banned the country from waging war.
Japan's cabinet says the country's arms exports will be monitored closely.
Weapons will not be transferred to countries that violate international treaties or UN Security Council resolutions,... and arms exports are only allowed if they contribute to peace or Japan's national security.
Less than a week after easing its arms export regulations, Japan signed an agreement with Australia to jointly develop submarines... while sealing a free trade deal.
And plenty more foreign buyers are lining up.
According to Japanese daily Nihon Keizai last week, officials from France and Britain have already paid visits to defense contractors like Mitsubishi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Tokyo is also likely to transfer weapons to Southeast Asian countries in similar situations with territorial disputes with China... to bolster support on the issue.
"The major goal of developing weapons is to arm the nation's own army.
But when you also export the weapons, you can arm them at a lower cost because of the increased sales,... and at the same time acquire a partially controlling power over the country that imports your weapons."
The world's top exporters, the United States and Russia make up more than half of the world's weapons providers combined.
Other leaders include Germany, France, and Britain, along with China, which is now the world's fifth largest arms exporter.
But with Japan now in the mix -- experts say it's now only a matter of time before the country emerges as one of the top players.
Song Ji-sun, Arirang News.

Export

The term export means shipping the goods and services out of the port of a country. The seller of such goods and services is referred to as an "exporter" and is based in the country of export whereas the overseas based buyer is referred to as an "importer". In international trade, "exports" refers to selling goods and services produced in the home country to other markets.

Export of commercial quantities of goods normally requires involvement of the customs authorities in both the country of export and the country of import. The advent of small trades over the internet such as through Amazon and eBay have largely bypassed the involvement of Customs in many countries because of the low individual values of these trades. Nonetheless, these small exports are still subject to legal restrictions applied by the country of export. An export's counterpart is an import.

History

The theory of international trade and commercial policy is one of the oldest branches of economic thought. Exporting is a major component of international trade, and the macroeconomic risks and benefits of exporting are regularly discussed and disputed by economists and others. Two views concerning international trade present different perspectives. The first recognizes the benefits of international trade. The second concerns itself with the possibility that certain domestic industries (or laborers, or culture) could be harmed by foreign competition.

Germany arms exports almost doubled in 2015

According to a German newspaper, the exports have reached their highest level in 16 years. EconomyMinister, Sigmar Gabriel, says preliminary figures show that Berlin approved around a whopping 7.5 billion euros worth of arms shipments last year. The report also reveals the approval of tanks and other vehicles worth 1.6 billion euros for Qatar in 2013. Germany is one of the world's main arms exporters to the European Union and NATO countries.

Japan eyes arms export

Japan eyes arms export

Japan eyes arms export

The Japanese government is planning to establish a new centralized agency to handle the development and export of defense equipment. The new department will combine many sectors of the defense industry in a move to gain ground in military exports.
Until now, Japan has had three nos when it's come to arms exports: No to communist nations, no to countries under UN arms embargos, and no to countries involved or likely to be involved in conflict. The new proposed agency represents a major shift from the previous policy set in place 44 years ago that made Japan known as an anti-war nation. Since then, Japan has held steady on its self-imposed arms export ban, but now the situation is changing. With increasing tensions in the region and concerns about security, the Japanese government often receives requests for assistance in areas of defense, but often cannot help over policies. There is also a strong concern that Japan, who was once considered as the technological leader of the world, is being left behind in advanced weapons technology. This is seen as a developing problem and some members of the government feel it's now the right time to make a change. Japan has made parts for the AmericanF-35 fighter exempt from the arms export ban, which means that countries such as Israel can obtain them easily despite using them for conflict. Although many in the government are seeking to expand Japan's defense role beyond its borders, the opinion on the street is quite different as one candidate for the Tokyo assembly tells us. Even though polls suggest that a majority of the Japanese are against easing the arms exports ban, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants the country to get more involved in weapons development with the United States, and sees it as ultimately necessary in going forward. The defense ministry behind me is leading the efforts to make this historic change, which will see Japan go from a country that sees itself as a peaceful war-renouncing nation to one which will proliferate weapons.

Japan Eyes First Arms Export Orders From India

Japan Eyes First Arms Export Orders From India

Japan Eyes First Arms Export Orders From India

This video shows you that JapanEyesFirstArms Export Orders From India.In Japan last week, I was privileged to be allowed a visit to ShinMaywa’s aircraft manufacturing plant in Konan, a corner of the city of Kobe. Four years ago, on the sidelines of the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, Defence MinisterItsunori Onodera had sketched out to me the broad contours of what could potentially be a Japanese military industrial complex, including we@pons exports, and I was curious to see where that vision had advanced.
As it turned out, my timing might have worked out just nice.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, it was revealed during my trip, is in talks with the United Arab Emirates for a potential sale of Japan’s latest transport aircraft, the C-2 – a massive military plane that has an endurance twice that of the United States-built C-130 and can carry four times its payload. And just this Tuesday, Mr Arun Jaitley, the second most powerful minister in India’s Cabinet after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, concluded his last overseas engagement as defence minister with a trip to Tokyo.
Buried in the long press release that followed on Wednesday was a line filled with meaning: “The (two sides) noted the effort made by both countries regarding the cooperation on US-2 amphibious aircraft.”
Japan’s arms exports industry could be stirring to life, finally.
With Asia emerging as the top we@pons-importing region, there is no reason the market should be left to US, European and Israeli vendors. Japan, after all, has first-rate defence technology in a variety of fields.
Besides, with its massive economy treading water against the background of an ageing society, this could provide just the boost needed to kick growth into higher gear.
But intentions are one thing and practical realities quite another. Japan eased a ban on we@pons transfers in early 2014, but not a lot has happened since. Mr Onodera lost the defence slot in 2014, and returned to it only last month. A defence industry reluctant to advertise its w@res for fear of a public opinion backlash – few people abhor w@r as much as the Japanese do – a phlegmatic government machinery, and dismal in-house marketing sk!lls within the defence contractors all contributed to ensure that the policy did not get much traction.

An angry reaction from Ankara to German restrictions on military exports has further stoked tensions between the NATO allies.
Berlin has rejected at least ten applications for arms transfers to Turkey in recent months amid politicians' fears the weapons could be used on Turkish citizens.
Turkey's Defence Minister, Fikri Işık, was scathing in his response.

Japan's growing presence in global weapons market

Earlier this month, Japan lifted a self-imposed ban on arms exports that dated back five decades.
The Abe administration has been pushing to strengthen Japan's military capabilities and potential buyers are already lining up to buy what the country has to offer.
Song Ji-sun reports.
A half-a-century long ban on Japan's arms export has been lifted... to help the nation beef up its weapons industry and self-defense capabilities.
Japan's post-World War II constitution drawn up in 1967 banned the country from waging war.
Japan's cabinet says the country's arms exports will be monitored closely.
Weapons will not be transferred to countries that violate international treaties or UN Security Council resolutions,... and arms exports are only allowed if they contribute to peace or Japan's national security.
Less than a week after easing its arms export regulations, Japan signed an agreement with Australia to jointly develop submarines... while sealing a free trade deal.
And plenty more foreign buyers are lining up.
According to Japanese daily Nihon Keizai last week, officials from France and Britain have already paid visits to defense contractors like Mitsubishi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Tokyo is also likely to transfer weapons to Southeast Asian countries in similar situations with territorial disputes with China... to bolster support on the issue.
"The major goal of developing weapons is to arm the nation's own army.
But when you also export the weapons, you can arm them at a lower cost because of the increased sales,... and at the same time acquire a partially controlling power over the country that imports your weapons."
The world's top exporters, the United States and Russia make up more than half of the world's weapons providers combined.
Other leaders include Germany, France, and Britain, along with China, which is now the world's fifth largest arms exporter.
But with Japan now in the mix -- experts say it's now only a matter of time before the country emerges as one of the top players.

The world is becoming more militarized. PresidentDonald Trump has requested a ten percent boost in defense spending, China will have nearly doubled its military expenditures by the end of the decade, and — with the impetuous Trump occupying the White House — conflict zones from the Korean Peninsula to Syria seem more likely to descend into open warfare than they did under the vigilant command of President Barack Obama.
In these geopolitical games of chess, let’s review where the pieces on the board — the weapons systems — are coming from. These are the top ten countries that export the most arms according to the authority on this topic, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Before we begin, a few important points: the data does not include spending on support services for these increasingly high-tech systems, which is now the dominant aspect of military spending; companies — some state-owned — are the primary providers of these weapons; and we’re using the average of the five most recent years to give the rankings more stability.
Israel’s arms industry is ranked tenth. Its exports surged above $1.2B for 2016, three times what it was just two years earlier. Part of this is increased sales to India, Israel’s biggest customer. Israel’s Aerospace Industries just finalized a deal worth $2B to provide air and missile defense systems.
Ninth is Ukraine. Naval vessels were its primary military export until a contract with the Chinese dried up in 2015. Despite its ongoing conflict with Russia, Ukraine continues to sell it more and more arms. Aside from Thailand, the Indians and Vietnamese are also regular customers.
Italy, the world’s eighth-leading arms exporter, does regular business with the United Arab Emirates. Leonardo S.p.A. — Italy’s leading defense contractor — recently cut a deal to sell the UAE eight of its brand new P180Avanti II “Hammerhead” Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for $347 million.
Seventh is Spain. It’s defense industry is concentrated heavily around two key markets: aviation and shipbuilding. State-owned Navantia is in the midst of delivering three Hobart-class destroyers to the Royal Australian Navy. The first of the 147.2 meter ships is currently conducting sea trials as it nears completion.
The UK is the world’s sixth-ranked arms manufacturer. It’s largest defense contractor, BAE Systems, is the third-largest in the world. It’s supplied The RoyalSaudi Air Force with 72 Eurofighter Typhoons as part of the Al Yamamah deal that guarantees the UK government 600,000 barrels of Saudi Arabian oil a day.
The Germans have slipped from third to fifth in the last five years as Chancellor Merkel’s government has blocked the sale of certain weapons systems to countries with questionable human rights records like Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Brunei. It is instead selling more to allies like South Korea and Greece.
Like the Germans, fourth-ranked France’s arms exports also declined during the last five years. President Francois Hollande came under heavy pressure from his NATO allies to cancel the sale of two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships to the Russians due to the crisis in Ukraine. Those ships instead were sold to Egypt.
China’s third-ranked defense industry is surging, rising from the sixth position just five years ago. The Chinese understand that in geopolitics, controlling the sale of military hardware is often a government’s most valuable bargaining chip. What’s interesting is the Chinese don’t — or can’t — make sales to its global rival, the United States, or its regional rival, India. The only NATO nation China has ever exported arms to is Turkey, but even that stopped in 2013.
Russia is second. Its main customer, India, now buys just half as many Russian made weapons systems as they were buying five years ago and, overall, Russia’s arms sales are down 30% from their peak. After Putin’s actions in eastern Ukraine, the US, NATO, and their allies used a combination of tools, including sanctions, to punish Russia.

The best part is that DRDO coordinated work with other agencies, including the users that is the Indian Airforce & Indian Army to produce this system.
It has found takers among friendly foreign nations such as Thailand and Belarus, which have shown and expressed interest in acquiring the Akash missile system.
SHIPS & PATROL VEHICLES:
MCGS Barracuda built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkata, for National Coast Guard of Mauritius is an example of successful export.
India joined the elite club of warship exporters when GRSE delivered it to Mauritius on 20 December 2014. The contract was worth $58.5 million.
The Indian government has already cleared export of 13 warships to Mauritius, which will be supplied over the next few years.
This include two FastPatrolVessels (FPVs) and 11 Fast Attack Crafts.
India also has agreed on supplying ships to Vietnam.
The sale of at least four patrol vessels comes as part of the $100 million credit line for military equipments extended to Vietnam by India.
The patrol vessels will be about 35 meters in length, 10 meters broad.
These will have specialized AluminumHull, & will be used to patrol the waters close to the shore. Vietnam needs at least 7 more such ships ,and GRSE is expected to get the order for the rest of the ships as well.
Besides, it is also in the race to export two light Frigates - about 3500 tons each at a total cost of Rs. 2000 crore - to The Philippines.
LCH:
The HALLIGHT COMBAT HELICOPTER (LCH) is a multirole combat helicopter being developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for use by the Indian Defense forces.
It has now caught the eye of African countries. According to a PTI report, India is in talks with “certain” countries in Africa for possible export of the LCH.
Japan has also shown keen interest in acquiring the HAL LCH, after it became the first helicopter of its kind ,to have landed at an altitude of 16,000 feet from the sea level. No other light combat helicopter has achieved this feat.
BRAHMOS:
The BrahMos is a ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land.
It is considered to the the most deadly Anti ship missile. It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroeyenia and India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) ,who have together formed BrahMos Aerospace.
Talks are in advanced stage with Vietnam for export.
Negotiations are also currently underway with Chile, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia.
Tejas:
The HAL Tejas is a single-seat, single-jet engine, multi-role light fighter designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for Indian Airforce.
Sources said enquiries by foreign countries came during the Bahrain air show in January, the very first time that Tejas flew outside the country.
As per the report Sri Lanka, Egypt have shown interest in the aircraft.
Sri Lanka had recently rejected Pakistan'sJF-17 aircraft built with Chinese help, & is now looking into Tejas.
Egypt had last year signed a contract for 24 French-made Rafale fighter jets, & are now looking acquire some multirole light fighter.
Interestingly, soon after the announcement of Tejas' participation in Bahrain, Pakistan had withdrawn its JF-17 aircraft from the show despite having paid the initial installment which ran into a few millions US dollars.

TOP 5 WEAPONSINDIA EXPORTING
INTRODUCTION:
India accounted for 14 per cent of total weapons imports between 2011 and 2015.
India remains the world’s largest weapons importer over the five-year period according to latest report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
India is not known to export defense equipments.
But in last 2 years , India under the leadership of PM Modi is trying to change that, with ‘Make in India’ initiative. The idea is to design & manufacture in India & export it to other countries, which will bring in foreign exchange.
Defense MinisterManohar Parrikar has set a target to raise India’s defense exports to $2 billion in the next two years from the current $330 million
In this video , we will look into 5 products , India is exporting or plans to export over the next few years.

The Japanese government is planning to establish a new centralized agency to handle the development and export of defense equipment. The new department will combine many sectors of the defense industry in a move to gain ground in military exports.
Until now, Japan has had three nos when it's come to arms exports: No to communist nations, no to countries under UN arms embargos, and no to countries involved or likely to be involved in conflict. The new proposed agency represents a major shift from the previous policy set in place 44 years ago that made Japan known as an anti-war nation. Since then, Japan has held steady on its self-imposed arms export ban, but now the situation is changing. With increasing tensions in the region and concerns about security, the Japanese government often receives requests for assistance in areas of defense, but often cannot help over policies. There is also a strong concern that Japan, who was once considered as the technological leader of the world, is being left behind in advanced weapons technology. This is seen as a developing problem and some members of the government feel it's now the right time to make a change. Japan has made parts for the AmericanF-35 fighter exempt from the arms export ban, which means that countries such as Israel can obtain them easily despite using them for conflict. Although many in the government are seeking to expand Japan's defense role beyond its borders, the opinion on the street is quite different as one candidate for the Tokyo assembly tells us. Even though polls suggest that a majority of the Japanese are against easing the arms exports ban, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants the country to get more involved in weapons development with the United States, and sees it as ultimately necessary in going forward. The defense ministry behind me is leading the efforts to make this historic change, which will see Japan go from a country that sees itself as a peaceful war-renouncing nation to one which will proliferate weapons.

This video shows you that JapanEyesFirstArms Export Orders From India.In Japan last week, I was privileged to be allowed a visit to ShinMaywa’s aircraft manufacturing plant in Konan, a corner of the city of Kobe. Four years ago, on the sidelines of the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, Defence MinisterItsunori Onodera had sketched out to me the broad contours of what could potentially be a Japanese military industrial complex, including we@pons exports, and I was curious to see where that vision had advanced.
As it turned out, my timing might have worked out just nice.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, it was revealed during my trip, is in talks with the United Arab Emirates for a potential sale of Japan’s latest transport aircraft, the C-2 – a massive military plane that has an endurance twice that of the United States-built C-130 and can carry four times its payload. And just this Tuesday, Mr Arun Jaitley, the second most powerful minister in India’s Cabinet after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, concluded his last overseas engagement as defence minister with a trip to Tokyo.
Buried in the long press release that followed on Wednesday was a line filled with meaning: “The (two sides) noted the effort made by both countries regarding the cooperation on US-2 amphibious aircraft.”
Japan’s arms exports industry could be stirring to life, finally.
With Asia emerging as the top we@pons-importing region, there is no reason the market should be left to US, European and Israeli vendors. Japan, after all, has first-rate defence technology in a variety of fields.
Besides, with its massive economy treading water against the background of an ageing society, this could provide just the boost needed to kick growth into higher gear.
But intentions are one thing and practical realities quite another. Japan eased a ban on we@pons transfers in early 2014, but not a lot has happened since. Mr Onodera lost the defence slot in 2014, and returned to it only last month. A defence industry reluctant to advertise its w@res for fear of a public opinion backlash – few people abhor w@r as much as the Japanese do – a phlegmatic government machinery, and dismal in-house marketing sk!lls within the defence contractors all contributed to ensure that the policy did not get much traction.

Earlier this month, Japan lifted a self-imposed ban on arms exports that dated back five decades.
The Abe administration has been pushing to strengthen Japan's military capabilities and potential buyers are already lining up to buy what the country has to offer.
Song Ji-sun reports.
A half-a-century long ban on Japan's arms export has been lifted... to help the nation beef up its weapons industry and self-defense capabilities.
Japan's post-World War II constitution drawn up in 1967 banned the country from waging war.
Japan's cabinet says the country's arms exports will be monitored closely.
Weapons will not be transferred to countries that violate international treaties or UN Security Council resolutions,... and arms exports are only allowed if they contribute to peace or Japan's national security.
Less than a week after easing its arms export regulations, Japan signed an agreement with Australia to jointly develop submarines... while sealing a free trade deal.
And plenty more foreign buyers are lining up.
According to Japanese daily Nihon Keizai last week, officials from France and Britain have already paid visits to defense contractors like Mitsubishi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Tokyo is also likely to transfer weapons to Southeast Asian countries in similar situations with territorial disputes with China... to bolster support on the issue.
"The major goal of developing weapons is to arm the nation's own army.
But when you also export the weapons, you can arm them at a lower cost because of the increased sales,... and at the same time acquire a partially controlling power over the country that imports your weapons."
The world's top exporters, the United States and Russia make up more than half of the world's weapons providers combined.
Other leaders include Germany, France, and Britain, along with China, which is now the world's fifth largest arms exporter.
But with Japan now in the mix -- experts say it's now only a matter of time before the country emerges as one of the top players.

BLACKLIST #2: The Global Arms Trade

The theme of this edition is The GlobalArms Trade, taking a long hard look at this market through the lens of 'Shadow World', an award-winning documentary based on the book by Andrew Feinstein.
Following the screening Andrew will join experts in a panel to discuss issues raised by the film, with particular attention placed on drones, nuclear arms and Germany's own role in this dark marketplace. The 3rd largest arms exporter worldwide, German weapons are commonplace on the battlefield, most recently used by UAE soldiers in Yemen. They are also found throughout the crisis zones of the world, evading export controls to end up in the hands of child soldiers, militia and drug lords.
Panelists include:

The theme of this edition is The GlobalArms Trade, taking a long hard look at this market through the lens of 'Shadow World', an award-winning documentary based on the book by Andrew Feinstein.
Following the screening Andrew will join experts in a panel to discuss issues raised by the film, with particular attention placed on drones, nuclear arms and Germany's own role in this dark marketplace. The 3rd largest arms exporter worldwide, German weapons are commonplace on the battlefield, most recently used by UAE soldiers in Yemen. They are also found throughout the crisis zones of the world, evading export controls to end up in the hands of child soldiers, militia and drug lords.
Panelists include:
Andrew Feinstein - author 'The ShadowWorld', activist and Executive DirectorCorruption Watch UK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Feinstein
Otfried Nassauer - Director the BerlinInformationCenter for TransatlanticSecurityhttp://bits.de/

TOP 10 Largest WEAPONS SELLING Countries

The countries that export the most military weapons to the rest of the world. With US PresidentTrump requesting a 10% boost in defense spending, and China having nearly doubled its military expenditures by the end of the decade, the world is rapidly becoming more militarized.
The SIPRI study: http://bit.ly/2lcyd1b
SIPRI's searchable database: http://bit.ly/2p16QKG

Video by Bryce Plank and Robin WestMusic:
"The Framework" by Jingle Punks — YouTube AudioLibraryScript:
The world is becoming more militarized. PresidentDonald Trump has requested a ten percent boost in defense spending, China will have nearly doubled its military expenditures by the end of the decade, and — with the impetuous Trump occupying the White House — conflict zones from the Korean Peninsula to Syria seem more likely to descend into open warfare than they did under the vigilant command of President Barack Obama.
In these geopolitical games of chess, let’s review where the pieces on the board — the weapons systems — are coming from. These are the top ten countries that export the most arms according to the authority on this topic, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
Before we begin, a few important points: the data does not include spending on support services for these increasingly high-tech systems, which is now the dominant aspect of military spending; companies — some state-owned — are the primary providers of these weapons; and we’re using the average of the five most recent years to give the rankings more stability.
Israel’s arms industry is ranked tenth. Its exports surged above $1.2B for 2016, three times what it was just two years earlier. Part of this is increased sales to India, Israel’s biggest customer. Israel’s Aerospace Industries just finalized a deal worth $2B to provide air and missile defense systems.
Ninth is Ukraine. Naval vessels were its primary military export until a contract with the Chinese dried up in 2015. Despite its ongoing conflict with Russia, Ukraine continues to sell it more and more arms. Aside from Thailand, the Indians and Vietnamese are also regular customers.
Italy, the world’s eighth-leading arms exporter, does regular business with the United Arab Emirates. Leonardo S.p.A. — Italy’s leading defense contractor — recently cut a deal to sell the UAE eight of its brand new P180Avanti II “Hammerhead” Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for $347 million.
Seventh is Spain. It’s defense industry is concentrated heavily around two key markets: aviation and shipbuilding. State-owned Navantia is in the midst of delivering three Hobart-class destroyers to the Royal Australian Navy. The first of the 147.2 meter ships is currently conducting sea trials as it nears completion.
The UK is the world’s sixth-ranked arms manufacturer. It’s largest defense contractor, BAE Systems, is the third-largest in the world. It’s supplied The RoyalSaudi Air Force with 72 Eurofighter Typhoons as part of the Al Yamamah deal that guarantees the UK government 600,000 barrels of Saudi Arabian oil a day.
The Germans have slipped from third to fifth in the last five years as Chancellor Merkel’s government has blocked the sale of certain weapons systems to countries with questionable human rights records like Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Brunei. It is instead selling more to allies like South Korea and Greece.
Like the Germans, fourth-ranked France’s arms exports also declined during the last five years. President Francois Hollande came under heavy pressure from his NATO allies to cancel the sale of two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships to the Russians due to the crisis in Ukraine. Those ships instead were sold to Egypt.
China’s third-ranked defense industry is surging, rising from the sixth position just five years ago. The Chinese understand that in geopolitics, controlling the sale of military hardware is often a government’s most valuable bargaining chip. What’s interesting is the Chinese don’t — or can’t — make sales to its global rival, the United States, or its regional rival, India. The only NATO nation China has ever exported arms to is Turkey, but even that stopped in 2013.
Russia is second. Its main customer, India, now buys just half as many Russian made weapons systems as they were buying five years ago and, overall, Russia’s arms sales are down 30% from their peak. After Putin’s actions in eastern Ukraine, the US, NATO, and their allies used a combination of tools, including sanctions, to punish Russia.

TOP 5 WEAPONS INDIA EXPORTING

TOP 5 WEAPONSINDIA EXPORTING
INTRODUCTION:
India accounted for 14 per cent of total weapons imports between 2011 and 2015.
India remains the world’s largest weapons importer over the five-year period according to latest report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
India is not known to export defense equipments.
But in last 2 years , India under the leadership of PM Modi is trying to change that, with ‘Make in India’ initiative. The idea is to design & manufacture in India & export it to other countries, which will bring in foreign exchange.
Defense MinisterManohar Parrikar has set a target to raise India’s defense exports to $2 billion in the next two years from the current $330 million
In this video , we will look into 5 products , India is exporting or plans to export over the next few years.
AKASH MISSILE:
Akash is a Surface-To-Air MissileSystem developed by DRDO with contribution from 61 Indian public and private sector companies.
Its all-weather missile, enjoying high immunity against active and passive jamming & is designed to kill adversaries at an altitude as low as 30 meters to as high as 18 to 20 km.
The best part is that DRDO coordinated work with other agencies, including the users that is the Indian Airforce & Indian Army to produce this system.
It has found takers among friendly foreign nations such as Thailand and Belarus, which have shown and expressed interest in acquiring the Akash missile system.
SHIPS & PATROL VEHICLES:
MCGS Barracuda built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkata, for National Coast Guard of Mauritius is an example of successful export.
India joined the elite club of warship exporters when GRSE delivered it to Mauritius on 20 December 2014. The contract was worth $58.5 million.
The Indian government has already cleared export of 13 warships to Mauritius, which will be supplied over the next few years.
This include two FastPatrolVessels (FPVs) and 11 Fast Attack Crafts.
India also has agreed on supplying ships to Vietnam.
The sale of at least four patrol vessels comes as part of the $100 million credit line for military equipments extended to Vietnam by India.
The patrol vessels will be about 35 meters in length, 10 meters broad.
These will have specialized AluminumHull, & will be used to patrol the waters close to the shore. Vietnam needs at least 7 more such ships ,and GRSE is expected to get the order for the rest of the ships as well.
Besides, it is also in the race to export two light Frigates - about 3500 tons each at a total cost of Rs. 2000 crore - to The Philippines.
LCH:
The HALLIGHT COMBAT HELICOPTER (LCH) is a multirole combat helicopter being developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for use by the Indian Defense forces.
It has now caught the eye of African countries. According to a PTI report, India is in talks with “certain” countries in Africa for possible export of the LCH.
Japan has also shown keen interest in acquiring the HAL LCH, after it became the first helicopter of its kind ,to have landed at an altitude of 16,000 feet from the sea level. No other light combat helicopter has achieved this feat.
BRAHMOS:
The BrahMos is a ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land.
It is considered to the the most deadly Anti ship missile. It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroeyenia and India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) ,who have together formed BrahMos Aerospace.
Talks are in advanced stage with Vietnam for export.
Negotiations are also currently underway with Chile, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia.
Tejas:
The HAL Tejas is a single-seat, single-jet engine, multi-role light fighter designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for Indian Airforce.
Sources said enquiries by foreign countries came during the Bahrain air show in January, the very first time that Tejas flew outside the country.
As per the report Sri Lanka, Egypt have shown interest in the aircraft.
Sri Lanka had recently rejected Pakistan'sJF-17 aircraft built with Chinese help, & is now looking into Tejas.
Egypt had last year signed a contract for 24 French-made Rafale fighter jets, & are now looking acquire some multirole light fighter.
Interestingly, soon after the announcement of Tejas' participation in Bahrain, Pakistan had withdrawn its JF-17 aircraft from the show despite having paid the initial installment which ran into a few millions US dollars.

Germany arms exports almost doubled in 2015

According to a German newspaper, the exports have reached their highest level in 16 years. EconomyMinister, Sigmar Gabriel, says preliminary figures show that Berlin approved around a whopping 7.5 billion euros worth of arms shipments last year. The report also reveals the approval of tanks and other vehicles worth 1.6 billion euros for Qatar in 2013. Germany is one of the world's main arms exporters to the European Union and NATO countries.

Japan eyes arms export

The Japanese government is planning to establish a new centralized agency to handle the development and export of defense equipment. The new department will combine many sectors of the defense industry in a move to gain ground in military exports.
Until now, Japan has had three nos when it's come to arms exports: No to communist nations, no to countries under UN arms embargos, and no to countries involved or likely to be involved in conflict. The new proposed agency represents a major shift from the previous policy set in place 44 years ago that made Japan known as an anti-war nation. Since then, Japan has held steady on its self-imposed arms export ban, but now the situation is changing. With increasing tensions in the region and concerns about security, the Japanese government often receives requests for assistance in areas of defense, but often cannot help over policies. There is also a strong concern that Japan, who was once considered as the technological leader of the world, is being left behind in advanced weapons technology. This is seen as a developing problem and some members of the government feel it's now the right time to make a change. Japan has made parts for the AmericanF-35 fighter exempt from the arms export ban, which means that countries such as Israel can obtain them easily despite using them for conflict. Although many in the government are seeking to expand Japan's defense role beyond its borders, the opinion on the street is quite different as one candidate for the Tokyo assembly tells us. Even though polls suggest that a majority of the Japanese are against easing the arms exports ban, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants the country to get more involved in weapons development with the United States, and sees it as ultimately necessary in going forward. The defense ministry behind me is leading the efforts to make this historic change, which will see Japan go from a country that sees itself as a peaceful war-renouncing nation to one which will proliferate weapons.

China has become the world's third largest exporter of arms after the US and Russia.
Chinese exports of major arms increased by 143 percent between 2005-2009 and 2010-2014. Three countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar were the main buyers of weapons from China which also exported to 18 African states.

Japan Eyes First Arms Export Orders From India

This video shows you that JapanEyesFirstArms Export Orders From India.In Japan last week, I was privileged to be allowed a visit to ShinMaywa’s aircraft manufacturing plant in Konan, a corner of the city of Kobe. Four years ago, on the sidelines of the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, Defence MinisterItsunori Onodera had sketched out to me the broad contours of what could potentially be a Japanese military industrial complex, including we@pons exports, and I was curious to see where that vision had advanced.
As it turned out, my timing might have worked out just nice.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, it was revealed during my trip, is in talks with the United Arab Emirates for a potential sale of Japan’s latest transport aircraft, the C-2 – a massive military plane that has an endurance twice that of the United States-built C-130 and can carry four times its payload. And just this Tuesday, Mr Arun Jaitley, the second most powerful minister in India’s Cabinet after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, concluded his last overseas engagement as defence minister with a trip to Tokyo.
Buried in the long press release that followed on Wednesday was a line filled with meaning: “The (two sides) noted the effort made by both countries regarding the cooperation on US-2 amphibious aircraft.”
Japan’s arms exports industry could be stirring to life, finally.
With Asia emerging as the top we@pons-importing region, there is no reason the market should be left to US, European and Israeli vendors. Japan, after all, has first-rate defence technology in a variety of fields.
Besides, with its massive economy treading water against the background of an ageing society, this could provide just the boost needed to kick growth into higher gear.
But intentions are one thing and practical realities quite another. Japan eased a ban on we@pons transfers in early 2014, but not a lot has happened since. Mr Onodera lost the defence slot in 2014, and returned to it only last month. A defence industry reluctant to advertise its w@res for fear of a public opinion backlash – few people abhor w@r as much as the Japanese do – a phlegmatic government machinery, and dismal in-house marketing sk!lls within the defence contractors all contributed to ensure that the policy did not get much traction.

Ankara reacts angrily to German arms export restrictions

An angry reaction from Ankara to German restrictions on military exports has further stoked tensions between the NATO allies.
Berlin has rejected at least ten applications for arms transfers to Turkey in recent months amid politicians' fears the weapons could be used on Turkish citizens.
Turkey's Defence Minister, Fikri Işık, was scathing in his response.
"We expect to see common sense from Germany. Unfortunately, while we see German guns in the hands of terrorists, Germany is ignoring this a…

Japan's growing presence in global weapons market

Earlier this month, Japan lifted a self-imposed ban on arms exports that dated back five decades.
The Abe administration has been pushing to strengthen Japan's military capabilities and potential buyers are already lining up to buy what the country has to offer.
Song Ji-sun reports.
A half-a-century long ban on Japan's arms export has been lifted... to help the nation beef up its weapons industry and self-defense capabilities.
Japan's post-World War II constitution drawn up in 1967 banned the country from waging war.
Japan's cabinet says the country's arms exports will be monitored closely.
Weapons will not be transferred to countries that violate international treaties or UN Security Council resolutions,... and arms exports are only allowed if they contribute to peace or Japan's national security.
Less than a week after easing its arms export regulations, Japan signed an agreement with Australia to jointly develop submarines... while sealing a free trade deal.
And plenty more foreign buyers are lining up.
According to Japanese daily Nihon Keizai last week, officials from France and Britain have already paid visits to defense contractors like Mitsubishi and Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Tokyo is also likely to transfer weapons to Southeast Asian countries in similar situations with territorial disputes with China... to bolster support on the issue.
"The major goal of developing weapons is to arm the nation's own army.
But when you also export the weapons, you can arm them at a lower cost because of the increased sales,... and at the same time acquire a partially controlling power over the country that imports your weapons."
The world's top exporters, the United States and Russia make up more than half of the world's weapons providers combined.
Other leaders include Germany, France, and Britain, along with China, which is now the world's fifth largest arms exporter.
But with Japan now in the mix -- experts say it's now only a matter of time before the country emerges as one of the top players.

BLACKLIST #2: The Global Arms Trade

The theme of this edition is The GlobalArms Trade, taking a long hard look at this market through the lens of 'Shadow World', an award-winning documentary based on the book by Andrew Feinstein.
Following the screening Andrew will join experts in a panel to discuss issues raised by the film, with particular attention placed on drones, nuclear arms and Germany's own role in this dark marketplace. The 3rd largest arms exporter worldwide, German weapons are commonplace on the battlefield, most recently used by UAE soldiers in Yemen. They are also found throughout the crisis zones of the world, evading export controls to end up in the hands of child soldiers, militia and drug lords.
Panelists include:
Andrew Feinstein - author 'The ShadowWorld', activist and Executive DirectorCorruption Watch UK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Feinstein
Otfried Nassauer - Director the BerlinInformationCenter for TransatlanticSecurityhttp://bits.de/

BLACKLIST is a series of public documentary film screenings and accompanying panel sessions thematically grouped around the significant societal and environmental challenges of our time. Themes include (yet are not limited to) Militarisation of Police, Automated Systems and Artificial Intelligence, Mass Surveillance, 21st CenturyFascism, Over-consumption, The 6th Mass Extinction, Food Security and Climate Change.
Each screening comprises a single newly-released documentary film and panel of four to six guests whose members are considered experts and/or activists closely related to the (given) theme. It is the goal of this panel to address tensions, challenges and mitigation strategies following the screening, inviting debate and discussion to the ends of encouraging engagement.
In short, BLACKLIST aims to bring attendees in contact with activists around themes already important to them, stimulating their own 'latent activist' to get involved toward the ends of enacting positive change.
The theme of a BLACKLIST event is prescribed by parent Black Sheep events, occurring a week before; the initiative of Ziya Tong, they comprise private, ad-hoc screenings to activists in cities worldwide. It is at a Black Sheep event that activists volunteer to attend and publicly engage audiences at a follow-up BLACKLIST screening.
BLACKLIST is the project of ManonBernard, JulianOliver and Crystelle Vu.
